Therapy
Care introduces mid- to high-elementary
level students to the basics of occupational and
physical therapy. Students experience useful
communicative English that they can use in their
future careers as therapists with English
speaking patients.
Many
first and second year students of therapy do not
yet have a full command of their subject. They
acquire this information in the later years of
their study. Therapy Care
understands this and does not demand highly
detailed or technical output from students.
Rather, the language practice is geared
simultaneously towards building up from the base
of that subject knowledge and towards dealing
with English that helps them develop language
skills in a practical manner.
Therapy
Care comprises twelve units which cover a
wide range of topics of direct interest to both
future physical and occupational therapists.
These include the decision to become a
therapist, dealing with sports injuries,
activities of daily living, and issues in
elderly care.
